Idk. I don't think either he nor reiser were ruby devs.

It depends on sampling and sky conditions. My only point was that some astronomy cameras have smaller pixels (like 1.45um).

Cannon pixels are still pretty big. You could use an astronomy camera and some lens adapters to get better sampling.

I had a design sketched out that would do sentiment analysis on each post in your social media feeds. It would then take action to hide or outright delete stuff based on your configuration.

It would probably work as a browser plugin, but I didn't have a real solution for rewriting whats on say the reddit or Twitter phone apps.

Probably pretty easy to vibe code up such a thing now.

Is this what the fp community calls referential transparency?

Valve failure often has nothing to do with diet. This is junk.

I don't know where to start. Does marketing typically work this well on you? Do you also think elon musk is going to die on mars?

True. I think i'm done after windows 10 really runs into the ground. I have a nuc that runs windows 11 and it's kind of a shitshow.

Ah sorry, it was lutris (the name escaped me). I've done all the combinations of wine and wrappers to wine. All of them have a sort of unstable relationship with the calling environment. alt-tabbing out of games never works, there are freezes and game crashes when you try to switch in and out of games a fluidly as you can on windows.

I believe you that steamos is better, but it's also a single task environment where you're not checking your email between rounds of halo.

I'll give proton a try, though i believe that was in play when i was laddering with lutris.
